what a hell of a start and I’m seated.
But you know what? This was a solid start. I’ll be honest—I'm was going into My Stubborn with both low expectations and, somehow, high ones. So where this ends up landing? Anyone’s guess. It might end up being one of those train wrecks I can’t look away from. but as of right now this exceeded all my expectations so here is hoping it stays that way untilthe end.
One thing I do know: it’s going to be messy. Deliciously, gloriously messy. I’m also super glad they moved up Jun’s age from high schooler (as both the description here and IQIYI have) to 21. and I’m assuming the scene from the start Jun was 19 maybe 18 since we get the 21 clarification and a “two years later”
Side note: I want to give a quick shoutout to the casting. I love that all the actors are over 27. It makes a real difference, especially in a series like this. Age-appropriate casting matters—there’s just a certain presence, a grounded energy, that comes with experience. For example, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t buy the MC in Bad Guy, My Boss as a CEO. He was only 20, and you could feel it—not just in how he looked, but in the presence that he brought to the role. That’s not the case here, and I genuinely appreciate it.
This ride is going to be toxic, wild, dramatic chaos—and honestly? I’m all in.

it’s so unserious
edit because of episode 7. I’ve lowered my rating because what the heck. consent is a big deal and “we are boyfriends” is not an excuse when the other is unconsciousI seldom write reviews before a series is over but I’m dying laughing here.
this is going to be one of the most unserious series out there and I kinda love it. The Christmas music in the background has me dying.
and come on Thaiwlight like twilight… this is going to be loads of fun and I’m here for it. it’s a nice departure from leeFranks more heavy roles.
so far I’m enjoying everyone in the cast and have a huge smile on my face with how silly this is. and the cgi element is way better than i expected.

first vertical series I liked
this was the first vertical series I liked. not once did I get the “low production” vibes I get with most vertical series, instead I got really good quality, great acting and a really good storyline for it being so short.the chemistry was off the charts and the kisses were great. you never know how it’s gonna be, especially when it’s the vertical app ones but I was so surprised here and I highly recommend it. yeah some parts weren’t as fleshed out but when it came to the Mcs I feel like it did a really good job. I’d love to see more of them in the future

that first NC scene
okay, so I will admit I was on the fence about this. it’s kinda a hard sell to go from guardian/father figure to romance. I questioned if they were going to be able to do it so I actually read the source material and I truly like the book a lothowever all of my friends that I would talk about this with I would say I don’t think this was the best series to adapt into an alive action because the romance really isn’t there not even in the book
however the Author has come out and said that they changed a lot and I am happy to report that they have
I’m actually truly enjoy enjoying this and I love seeing Saint back in a BL at first, I didn’t know if I was going to like him and poom together, but they have really grown on me
here’s the thing my sweetheart Jom isn’t out here to win awards and be the best series ever created. it is a fun romcom that is over the top ridiculous and just to feel good series
that being said, I didn’t think we were going to get any NC scenes… but color me surprised. and Saint, my guy, damn.
anyway, it’s a fun writer not to be taken very serious seriously. and I love it
I hope we get to see more of them as a CP

love this change in dynamic
I loved this and thought it was adorable. I really enjoyed the change in dynamic for offgun where off was the one pursuing guns character. it's a nice change of pace.this wasn't ever supposed to be a dramatic angst filled show. instead we got sweetness and some laugh out loud moments. I truly enjoyed this change in dynamic of OffGun. and the OST is chefs kiss. I think I listen to it a few times a week.
if you're looking for a low angst, light, fluffy, show give it a go l don't think you'd be disappointed.
also this was probably they most intense kissing these two have done

give me all the toxic red flags
apparently I have a type and it’s this kind of series. Now this series was a train wreck, but in the best possible way.is this gonna be a toxic med? yes. yes it is. am I gonna enjoy every second of it? absolutely.
I really loved MonPak in two worlds so I have been locked in since this was announced forever ago. I’m happy to see them as leads in a series and I’m really curious to watch LongLee with his new partner. so far, I’m really enjoying it
bring on the red flag toxic mess. I am here for it.
although I will say I can do without the extremely long, random pauses in the series I swear some of them felt like they were 85 years long 🤣🤣

brought light to a serious matter
although the acting was amateur, the story is good. it’s got a deeper meaning that’s surface level.the girls in this minus the mother were the worst. and I hated that nothing actually happened to the bullies… any of them in the end.
but surprisingly we did get an hea, and you can tell it wasn’t a bromance hea.
I think it’s worth a shot to watch it.
the mom was best in all of this in the end and I’m glad he had someone on his side. well two people.
it really did bother me not one person that bullied him got anything. it was all just forgotten. and I do wish we got to see how he handled everything later on especially at school. did he stay in same school?

unserious over the top funny
I knew going in this was going to be a comedy, but this is so over the top and ridiculous. and that kinda makes me love it.this is a HUGE production and it has sooo many gmm actors we are used to. it’s weird seeing so many together. but so far, it’s pretty simple to follow.
to be honest, although I do love the other ships I am mainly here for PerthSanta now and even though this has only just begun I already love them. Santa brings a fun, childlike energy to the mix and he compliments Book so well. I am really excited to see more of their interactions as this progresses.
I will say I do think forcebook are a little old to be playing in a school series. their energy just screams older. especially when book was in the high school outfit in the beginning. however, this series isn’t meant to be earth shattering. it’s meant to be a fun unserious series so I’m willing to suspend belief and pretend they are younger. same goes for junior and mark.
is this over the top? yes. is it ridiculous? yes. do I think it’s gonna be awesome? also yes.
I’m here for the long haul. let’s goooo!

specials are better than the main series
I said what I said and I mean it. so far we’ve gotten two special episodes from the VBL series and they have been the perfect button ending to the main series.they are full of fluff, sweet moments, and so far depict what’s happening next in their lives together. we got this with the you are mine special and now again with the vip only special. I wish more series did this because who doesn’t need unbridled fluffy and joy everyone once and a while. I can’t wait for the other two specials now if these two are any indication on how they are going to go.
also I freaking LOVE the you are mine characters in this! I love them so much, it filled my heart with joy to see them again and get even more of their life.
Side note: vip only was my least favorite of the VBL series however this special episode made me like the main series more.

cheating… if you’re good with that then you might like it
I was actually really enjoying this the last two episodes and I’m so mad that I spent money on the fast track for this.spoiler:
Sun cheats in the last episode with ZERO remorse and when Nu finds out he says “it was my first mistake you have to forgive Me” be so freaking for real. and then right when I thought we were gonnna get a nu backbone Sun goes ahead and “makes himself sick” like if Nu doesn’t forgive him he’ll die. like let’s not gloss over he was all happy go lucky after the cheating an she only got upset once by found out. he would have happily lived his life carrying on like he wasn’t a POS.
like fuk this series ans I WAS a fan until ep 4 even if the SA pissed me off. and don’t even get me started on that whole dynamic
plus nu’s fiancé shows up in the last 5 seconds so either there is gonna be a new season or a special episode but honestly they can keep it… cause no thank you

adorable
much like all of these special episodes it’s packed with cute moments and kisses.honestly I liked this ending better than the series ending. we get to see them progress through their life now and have an adorable date at an amusement park (might I add Huang Li Feng in all pink looks amazing)plus we got another scene with out stay by my side MCs. and truly it was hilarious. the play fighting back and forth about their “man” had be smiling for ear to ear.
honestly this was super heartwarming and fun. you also can’t go wrong with lots of kisses :)

ost for the win
first let me say I loved the ost and wish it was on streaming platforms. but that’s not the only thing I liked about this. sure it’s a low budget bl but even in this short from it still packed a punch and had me in my feelings.I really enjoyed this, and am interested to see what else this studio will produce.
again the ost is amazing :) worth it just for that :)
I highly recommend this, especially since it only 3 episodes only 9mins each or a movie version which was all 3 episodes combined.

family can’t always be your safe space
I’ll admit I came here for Pond Phuwin but stayed for AouBoom.there is something so wonderful about a group of friends that love and support each other as much as the gang of We Are. I WISH I had a friendship group like this.
honestly this series is unserious a little unhinged and full to the brim with love and the world just needs this at times.
I was also very happy with the pretty much even screen time for most of the cast. when there is this many characters things tend tog tt messy and overlooked but that really didn’t happen here. I would hav loved to seen more marc poon, that would be my only complaint in the screen time category.
if you’re looking for a unserious, fun, full of love good time series I highly recommend it.
now how do we go about getting Aou and Boom their own series?

overall pretty good.
I think the sign did a lot right. it’s hard to compare it to other BLs because it’s really on its own. Overall it’s a really good story and huge production.I have to give it credit for taking on such a massive undertaking for what they set up. I would have liked the ending to be stronger. Tharn showing back up with not really a good explanation was frustrating. I think if they showed him being healed and that whole plot point it would have been stronger.
plus I would have loved to see the teams reaction to him coming back. I also want to know more about khem & thongthai- they had a wonderful set up in the series but were brushed aside at the end. same with chat. we could have gotten clear endings if the fleshed stuff out more.
overall it was a great series and I adored the chaotic mess that was Yai. his one liners had me rolling.
I’d definitely watch a season two if they made it.
